Any recommendations for a #FairPhone5 screen protector besides the official Fairphone ones (ideally made in UK since that's where I am)?
(I tried their privacy screen and it was not convenient when you want to show something to someone. The other option, "blue screen filter", I don't see the point of. They're also quite expensive.).

Wait is it just me or are there multiple downgrades on the Fairphone Gen 6 specs compared to the Fairphone 5?
I can’t really find a detailed spec sheet for the 6 on their website, but it seems that the front and ultrawide cameras are worse?

Also, I’d be fine with a screwed battery cover if it meant greater water resistance. But it seems that the 6 has the same IP55 rating as the 5 so like what the fuck? The Fairphone 5 was prettier too I think, specially the sky blue color (that doesn’t seem to be available anymore unfortunately).

Found the specs sheet.
The front camera and ultrawide camera seem to be considerably worse.
The normal wide camera seems to be better, except it lost the electronic stabilisation (not sure how important that is tbh).
The battery is better, but it needs a screwdriver to be changed so no more switch during the day if you don’t have a screwdriver always on you. This comes with no added water resistance, which makes me wonder why they did this.
The display seems to be worse? The resolution is smaller which makes sense since the size is smaller, but also it seems to have less PPI than the Fairphone 5. The refresh rate is higher tho.
It has worse USB-C connectivity as well, the Fairphone 6 has just USB 2.0 (!!!!) compared to 3.0 on the Fairphone 5.
They also got rid of the sky blue color (which was the prettiest imo) and of the transparent option.
I don’t really understand Qualcomm processors, but at least the new GPU seems to have a better benchmark score?

#Otto verschickt mein #Fairphone5 mit #Hermes.
Nun denn... 🙄

Also I really hope postmarketOS support for Fairphone 5 doesn’t stop evolving now that the gen 6 was released
It’s really nice that the 6 already has preliminary support on pmOS, but its specs are worse so I’m actually considering buying a Fairphone 5. Tho the 5 isn’t available on sky blue anymore which is really sad bc it was super pretty.

Heute mal wieder dran erinnert, dass es keinen Sinn ergibt, Smartphones mit Vertrag zu kaufen. Wollte zurück zur Telekom und dabei das #Fairphone5 haben (ja, ich traue mich jetzt 🥰)
Die Telekom hat es aber nicht mehr online und auch in keinem Laden.
Dann habe ich ausgerechnet, was das eigentlich mit dem Zusatzbeitrag im Vertrag der Einmalgebühr kostet und mir dann einfach bei

Honestly I’m really disappointed. Why releasing a new model if it’s worse than the previous one?
Fairphone 5 always seemed like a miracle, a phone that actually cared about being fair and that had good postmarketOS support while still having good modern specs compared to other companies phones out there. Fairphone 6 had me excited since the obvious assumption would be even better hardware, but then that’s what we got? Damn, is the dream of a fair phone with good specs over?
As it is today, I’d probably buy a Fairphone 5 over a Fairphone 6. But then once that became outdated, which will happen eventually, it seems that I’d just be orphaned without a phone to upgrade to…
I hope they revert this when they make the Fairphone 7.
Please tell me that the dream of a postmarketOS phone with great specs isn’t over…

Wow, what a surprise today! Finally Android 15 for my Fairphone 5!
